ASOEBI

 

 

Okay so it was a long weekend. On Thursday was one event in the wedding weekend of a friend and school mate of mine Ameerah Suleiman now Ameerah Kigbu. The event was a traditional event called the 'kamu'; which is generally an event for the bride and her friends and later on after the bride price had been paid the bridegroom and his friends join the festivities, This was on of the most colourful events of the weekend.

Remember when I told you about the commercialization of the asoebi custom well, there were different fabrics for each day for the friends of the bride and I have proof of how ridiculous it has become, I was part of the girls who were to accompany her as a form of a bridal train and yet the only fabric left that I could get was for the kamu, for the remaining events all the fabrics had been bought, so I had to buy another asoebi. Though it did not detract form my duties its was weird to be the only one on Friday and Saturday without the same asoebi.

I promised to show you pictures so here are seven from the three events I attended.

This is the table setting on the 'Kamu' for the friends of the bride who were to sit surrounding her.

This is the bride and a few of her friends, on Thursday for the 'kamu' ceremony. The one of the left is in the asoebi fabric for that day. (with my phone).

This is me in the asoebi for the kamu.

This is a picture I took with my phone in line with other bridesmaid of the couple on Friday night.

This is me on Friday night.

This is me on Saturday night, the girl beside me is one of the bridesmaids in the asoebi fabric that ran out.

So yeah, that's my asoebi story, what's yours?. tell me in your comments.
